Flick: Achieving Victory is Most Important, Pedri and Raphinha Make the Difference
Hans Flick, the head coach of Barcelona, expressed his happiness with the win over Osasuna in the 16th round of the Spanish league, emphasizing that the most important thing is to secure the three points and continue leading the table, following the 2-0 victory at Spotify Camp Nou stadium.
Flick said: "The most important thing is the three points. We controlled the match and held possession exceeding 80%, and we were organized defensively. Although we did not create many clear chances, we scored two goals, and it is always good to keep a clean sheet."
He added: "I congratulate all the players for their great effort and the way they defended throughout the match."
The Barcelona coach continued talking about the first goal, saying: "We found spaces in the moment of the first goal, and the pass was perfect. Pedri is an amazing player, top class, exceptional in every sense of the word."
He continued his praise, saying: "Raphinha is a very important player for us, and scoring two goals is significant for him and the team. They defended with a low block, making it difficult to find spaces, but when they appeared, we exploited them thanks to the quality of Pedri and Raphinha."
Flick added regarding the league lead: "I don't think much about the other teams, the season is still long. We focus on ourselves and want to win every match."
He continued: "We put pressure on our rivals, but our main goal is to win and maintain good performance," pointing out that the team has been heading in the right direction recently.
Hans Flick concluded his statements saying: "The defense line played a great match, and everyone was up to the responsibility. Gerard Marten has improved a lot, and Kobarci is delivering wonderful performances despite his young age, which reflects the good work within the club."
